Jujutsu Kaisen 0 Director Addresses Gojo’s Honest Feelings Towards Geto

Jujutsu Kaisen fans waiting for news on season two these days, but while the show carries on work behind the scenes, they have the anime’s first movie to keep them preoccupied. After all, news broke about the film’s first home release recently, and netizens are eager to binge the hit once more. And for those wanting to revisit its take on Geto and Gojo, the director of Jujutsu Kaisen 0 has some words to share with you in particular.

Recently, a new comment from Park went live as fans learned more about Jujutsu Kaisen 0 and its Blu-ray release in Japan. It was there the director opened up about Gojo and Geto’s true feelings about one another as the film pits the former best friends in a fight to the death.

“I think they are best friends but Gojo has to cut off his relationship with Geto who became a curse user. He must put an end to the man named Geto,” Park shared (via Kaikaikitan).

“The sadness of the parting was the theme of the relationship between the two in the movie. The moment the word “Geto” comes out, Gojo reacts differently than usual. Gojo’s feelings are also expressed in such details.”

For those who have watched Jujutsu Kaisen 0, they will know just how true Park’s assessment rings. Geto made his choice to abandon jujutsu society and his friends despite years of training. However, Gojo was not so easily swayed. Despite wanting to save Geto, the expectations placed upon Gojo from birth only left him with one option, and that was to kill Geto should he get the chance. There’s no denying these two share a tragic bond, and Jujutsu Kaisen season two will only twist it more so when Gojo learns about his friend’s post-mortem fate. But at least for a minute, Jujutsu Kaisen 0 showcases the true nature of Gojo and Geto’s bond before bringing the latter to their end.
